Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel
Neuse River Basin
1.0 Project Introduction
The Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel ("Parcel") is proposed under the terms and conditions of the
Catfish Pond II Nutrient Offset and Buffer Mitigation Banking Instrument ("MBI"), made and entered
into by Wildlands Holdings V, LLC acting as Bank Sponsor ("Sponsor") and the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality ("NCDE(X") Division of Water Resources ("NCDWR"). The Parcel
shall be planned and designed according to the MBI, 15A NCAC 02B .0240 and the Consolidated Buffer
Mitigation Rule 15A NCAC 02B .0295 which became effective November 1, 2015.
The project is in Durham County approximately 12 miles north of the City of Durham, immediately
adjacent to the North Carolina Division of Mitigation Services ("NCDMS") Catfish Pond Mitigation Site,
NCDWR Project Number 2018-0196v1 ("NCDMS Site") (Figure 1). The Parcel expands the protected
riparian area from 50 feet in the NCDMS Site to 100-200 feet on along Catfish Creek, two unnamed
tributaries and one ditch. The primary purpose of the project is to provide riparian buffer mitigation
credits and nutrient offset credits to compensate for unavoidable impacts in the Neuse River Basin
03020201 Hydrologic Unit Code ("HUC") within the Falls Lake Watershed (Figure 2).
1.1 Parcel Location and Description
The Parcel is located within the Neuse River Basin HUC 03020201020040 and NCDWR Subbasin 03-04-01
in Durham County. To reach the Parcel from the City of Durham, travel north approximately 12 miles on
Highway 501/North Roxboro Street. The Parcel is on the left, 1/2 mile north of the roads intersection
with Patrick Road, just south of its intersection with Mountain Creek.
Catfish Creek and the other project features flow into Mountain Creek, which subsequently flows into
Little River, the Eno River, and then into Falls Lake. Falls Lake is classified as water supply water (WS-IV)
and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW) by NCDWR. The proposed project supports specific goals identified
in the 2010 Neuse River Basin Restoration Priorities Plan (RBRP) by promoting "nutrient and sediment
reduction in agricultural areas by restoring and preserving wetlands, streams and riparian buffers".
This riparian mitigation project will reduce sediment and nutrient loading, provide and improve
terrestrial and instream habitats, and improve stream and bank stability. The area surrounding the
streams proposed for mitigation is currently a mixture of active pasture, open fields, and some
woodlands (See the appendix for February 2020 site photos). By removing cattle access and restoring
the vegetation on areas up to 200 feet from the streams and ditch; the project will reduce nutrient and
sediment inputs in the tributaries to Mountain Creek, and subsequently Little River and Falls Lake. The
restored floodplain areas will filter sediment during high rainfall events. The establishment of riparian
vegetation around Ditch D will also create shading to minimize thermal heating. Finally, the new native
vegetation will provide cover and food for wildlife throughout the Parcel.

2.0 Mitigation Project Summary
2.1 Project Goals
The major goals of the proposed buffer and nutrient offset mitigation project are to provide ecological
and water quality enhancements to the Falls Lake Watershed in the Neuse River Basin by restoring the
riparian area to create a functional riparian corridor. Specific enhancements to water quality and
ecological processes are outlined below in Table 1.

harmful uses.
2.2 Existing Parcel Conditions
The proposed buffer and nutrient offset mitigation project includes approximately 33 acres of open
cattle pasture along Catfish Creek, two unnamed tributaries (UT1 and Mountain Tributary for the
purposes of this project), and a ditch (Ditch D). Previously cattle had access to all streams but with the
recent conclusion of construction on the NCDMS Site, the first 50 feet from the project streams were
restored or enhanced via cattle exclusion, as a forested riparian area. The Parcel expands beyond that
boundary increasing easement widths from 0-50 feet to 100-200 feet and incorporating a new 200-foot
area surrounding Ditch D (Figure 3).
Portions of the Parcel's three jurisdictional streams (Catfish Creek, Mountain Tributary, and UT1), one
Ditch (D), and one ephemeral channel (EC1) were all part of the NCDMS Site. Catfish Creek flows east,
WCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 2 April 2020
beginning as an intermittent stream and becoming perennial. UT1 is a perennial stream that flows
northeast, joining Catfish Creek. Both EC1 and Ditch D flow east into UT1. Mountain Tributary begins in
the northwest corner of the project area and flows southeast before turning and flowing northeast into
Mountain Creek. The NCDMS Site also included an additional stream (UT2) that is not included in the
Parcel.
In general, this area has maintained its rural, farming character over the last 78 years with only minor
changes in land cover (see historical aerials in the appendix). This consistency in land use within the
project watershed indicates that watershed processes affecting hydrology, sediment supply, and
nutrient and pollutant delivery have not varied widely over this time period. With a lack of
developmental pressure, watershed processes and stressors from outside the project limits are likely to
remain consistent throughout the implementation, monitoring, and closeout of this project.

2.3 Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation and Nutrient Offset Mitigation
NCDWR performed an onsite visit of the project area to determine viability for buffer mitigation and
nutrient offset mitigation on February 23, 2018 (letter dated March 13, 2018). Five of the six features
assessed were deemed viable by NCDWR to generate buffer mitigation. The sixth, Ditch D, required
more information before a determination of viability could be made. The additional information to
support buffer credit viability on Ditch D is included in Section 2.4. NCDWR issued an extension of the
"On -Site Stream Origin Determination for Applicability to Neuse Riparian Buffer Rules" on February 19,
2020.
There have been no changes to the land use in the Parcel since the NCDWR 2018 site visit. The NCDMS
stream and buffer mitigation project is currently under construction. A copy of the "Site Viability for
Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset" letter and extension letter from the DWR are included in the
appendix and summarized in Table 3.

2.4 Alternative Mitigation for Buffer Mitigation
In addition to buffer restoration on subject streams, per the Consolidated Buffer Mitigation Rules (15A
NCAC 02B 0.0295 (o)), alternative mitigation is proposed on the Parcel in the form of buffer preservation
of forested land on subject streams and buffer restoration on ditches. The proposed project is in
compliance in the following ways:
Preservation on Subject Streams (15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(5):
• The buffer width is at least 30 feet from the stream (See Figure 8 for buffer zones). The
minimum width of riparian areas on this site is 50 feet from top of banks.
The area meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 02R 0.0403(c)(7), (8), and (11) with no known
structures, infrastructure, hazardous substances, solid waste, or encumbrances within the
mitigation boundary (See Section 2.10 for EDR Radius Report summary).
Mitigation credits for preservation are being requested on no more than 25% of the total area of
buffer mitigation (See Table 8 for credit calculations).
Restoration on Ditches (15A NCAC 026 .0295 (o)(8):
• The ditch is directly connected with and draining towards an intermittent or perennial stream
(See Figure 3 for connection with UT1).
• The ditch is contiguous with the rest of the mitigation site protected under a perpetual
conservation easement (See Figure 3 and 7 for easement boundary).
• Stormwater runoff from overland flow drains towards the ditch (See Figure 5 for topographic
and watershed information).
• The ditch is between one and 3 feet in depth (See Figure 3 for depth at cross-section locations).
• The entire length of the ditch shall have been in place prior to the effective date of the
applicable rule (See appendix for historical aerial photographs).
• The width of buffer restoration on the ditch is no less than 30 feet and no more than 50 feet
(See Figure 8 for buffer zones).
• The watershed of the ditch is at least four times larger than the restored area along the ditch
(See Figure 5 for the watershed and Table 4 for the drainage areas).

HUC 03020201 Page 4 April 2020
The following sections describe the existing riparian conditions on the Parcel in terms of watershed,
soils, geology, cultural resources, species of concern, regulated floodplain zones, and site constraints.
2.5 Watershed Characterization
The Parcel is located within the HUC 03020201020040. All onsite features drain to Mountain Creek,
which flows to Littler River, the Eno River, and then into Falls Lake. Falls Lake is classified as water supply
waters (WS-IV) and nutrient sensitive waters (NSW). The NSW designation applies to surface waters that
are experiencing excessive growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation.
The topography of the Parcel, as indicated on the Rougemont USGS 7.5-minute topographic quadrangle,
shows mostly steeply sloped areas with some moderately sloped areas along UT1 (Figure 4). Drainage
areas for the project reaches (Figure 5) were delineated using 2-foot contour intervals derived from the
North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program's 2017 Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data. Land uses
draining to the project reaches are a mix of active pastures, fields, and woodlands. The watershed areas
and current land use are summarized in Table 4, below.

area of buffer restoration on the ditch, meeting the requirements of 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (o)(8) .
2.6 Geology and Soils
The project is located in the Ecoregion 45c - Carolina Slate Belt of the Piedmont physiographic province.
The Carolina Slate Belt extends from southern Virginia, across the Carolinas, and into Georgia. The
Carolina Slate Belt consists of metamorphosed igneous and sedimentary rock including gneiss and schist
that has been intruded by younger granitic rocks (NCGS, 2013). The underlying geology of the proposed
Parcel is mapped as late Proterozoic to Cambrian (1 billion to 500 million years in age) intermediate
metavolcanics rock (CZiv) and felsic meta -volcanic rock (CZfv) (NCGS, 1985). The intermediate meta -
volcanic rock is described as metamorphosed andesitic tuffs and flows that are medium to dark grayish
green in color with minor felsic and mafic meta-volcanics. The felsic meta -volcanic rock is described as
metamorphosed daeitic to rhyolitic flows and tuffs that is light gray to greenish gray in color that
interbedded with intermediate meta -volcanic rock.
The proposed Parcel is mapped by the Durham County Soil Survey. Project area soils are mapped
primarily as wehadkee silt loam, tatum gravelly silt loam, georgeville silt loam, and chewacla and
wehadkee soils. These soils are described below in Table 5. Catfish Creek, UT1, Mountain Tributary, and
Ditch D are all depicted as streams on the 1976 NRCS Soil Survey provided in Figure 6.

2.7 Existing Vegetative Communities
Upland portions of the Parcel maintained for cattle grazing are dominated by pasture grasses including
tall fescue (Schedonorus arundinaceus), bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon), and red fescue (Festuca
rubra). Herbaceous vegetation in wetland and riparian areas includes tearthumb (Polygonum
sagittatum), common rush (Juncus effuses), spotted ladysthumb (Polygonum persicaria), yellow
jewelweed (Impatiens pallida), Carex species (Carex spp.), and Japanese stilt grass (Microstegium
vimineum). Forested riparian areas are generally narrow or discontinuous, but common tree species
present in the canopy are American sycamore (Platanus occidentalis), green ash (Fraxinus
pennsylvanica), sweetgum (Liquidambarstyraciflua), yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera), and red
maple (Acer rubrum). Additional woody plants present in smaller proportions or lower strata include
eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana), white oak (Quercus alba), hazel alder (Alnus serrulata), black
willow (Salix nigra), paw paw (Asimina triloba), greenbriar (Smilax rotundifolia), Chinese privet
(Ligustrum sinense), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica).
2.8 Threatened and Endangered Species
The NC Natural Heritage Program (NHP) database and the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
Information for Planning and Consultation database (IPaC) were searched for federally listed threatened
and endangered plant and animal species in Durham County, NC. Two listed endangered species and
three species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened were identified: the River waterdog
(Necturus lewisi), Carolina madtom (Notorus furiousus), Atlantic pigtoe (Fusconaia masoni), Michaux's
sumac (Rhus michauxii), and the smooth coneflower (Echinacea laevigata). Wildlands performed a
pedestrian survey of the project parcel on April 13, 2018 and again on February 14, 2020. It was
determined that there is no suitable habitat for any of the listed species; therefore, the project will have
WCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 6 April 2020
"no effect" on the federally listed species. The USFWS Self -Certification Letter packet and the USFWS
response letter agreeing with the determinations are included in the appendix.
2.9 Cultural Resources
There are no existing structures in the project area. The Parcel is not located near any sites listed on the
National Register with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). SHPO was contacted with request
for review and comment on March 2, 2020. SHPO responded on April 17, 2020 and stated they were not
aware of any historic resources that would be affected by the project. All correspondence with SHPO is
included in the Appendix.
2.10 FEMA Floodplain Compliance
No grading activities are proposed in the floodplain, so a floodplain development permit will not be
required. No hydraulic modeling is proposed for this project.
2.11 Parcel Location, Parcel Constraints, and Access
The Parcel is accessible via a gravel driveway off Roxboro Road. Three internal easement crossings for
farm use are part of the proposed conservation easement. These breaks are not included in the credits
calculated for the project. There are no other known constraints on the proposed Parcel.
2.12 Other Environmental Conditions
An EDR Radius Map Report with Geocheck was ordered for the Parcel through Environmental Data
Resources, Inc. on January 29, 2018. Neither the target property nor the adjacent properties were listed
in any of the Federal, State, or Tribal environmental databases searched by EDR. There were no known or
potentially hazardous waste sites identified within or immediately adjacent to the project area. The
Executive Summary of the EDR report is included in the Appendix.
3.0 Site Protection Instrument
The land required for planting, management, and stewardship of the mitigation project includes
portions of the parcels listed in Table 6. The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its
entirety by an approved NCDWR long term stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed
in an approved NCDWR conservation easement.

4.0 Mitigation Work Plan
The project will restore agriculturally impacted land along Catfish Creek, Mountain Tributary and Ditch D
on the Parcel to a protected riparian corridor, improving the ecological function of the area. The project
design will ensure that no adverse impacts to wetlands or existing riparian buffers occur. Figure 7
illustrates the conceptual design for the Parcel. Figure 8 further depicts the riparian buffer zones for the
Parcel.
KCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 7 April 2020
4.1 Parcel Preparation
The land use within 200 feet from top of bank of the project features has been maintained as cleared for
cattle pasture except for a few small forested areas along Catfish Creek and Mountain Tributary. Those
areas will be preserved. Areas slated for restoration will require little site preparation because the land
has been maintained in agriculture. Site preparation will include select herbicide treatments and/or
limited mechanical clearing to remove undesirable vegetation. Where needed, invasive species will be
selectively removed and/or spot treated by a licensed pesticide applicator.
The Parcel is being fenced during construction of the NCDMS Site to remove cattle from the easement
areas as shown on Figure 8, but the Parcel will continue to be used for agriculture until the Parcel
conservation easement has been recorded.
4.2 Riparian Area Restoration Activities
Riparian area restoration will involve planting appropriate native tree species along the riparian corridor.
Vegetation management and herbicide applications may be needed over the first few years of tree
establishment in the riparian restoration areas to prevent encroachment of undesirable species that
may out -compete the planted native vegetation. Tree species planted across the riparian areas of the
Parcel will include a mixture of the species listed in Table 7 below.

Trees will be planted at a density sufficient to meet the performance standards outlined in the Rule 15A
NCAC 02B .0295 of 260 planted trees per acre at the end of five years. No one tree species will be
greater than 50% of the established stems. An appropriate seed mix will also be applied to provide
temporary and permanent ground cover for soil stabilization and reduction of sediment loss during rain
events in areas without existing herbaceous cover. Planting is scheduled for January 2021.
4.3 Riparian Area Enhancement Activities
No riparian enhancement activities are planned for the Parcel.
0 Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 8 April 2020
4.4 Riparian Area Preservation Activities
There will be no parcel preparation work done in the buffer preservation areas, as allowed under 15A
NCAC 02B .0295(o). There are sections along Catfish Creek and Mountain Tributary of mature hardwood
forest that will be protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement (Figure 7). No additional
treatment or planting is planned for these areas of the project.
5.0 Monitoring and Maintenance Plan
5.1 Monitoring Protocol
Permanent vegetation monitoring plots will be installed and evaluated within the buffer restoration
areas to measure the survival of the planted trees. The plots will be randomly placed throughout the
planted riparian areas. A total of 23 plots will be established within the riparian buffer restoration and
credit generation areas (Figure 9). The size of individual quadrants will be 100 square meters.
Vegetation assessments will be conducted and follow the Carolina Vegetation Survey (CVS) Level 2
Protocol for Recording Vegetation (2008). A reference photo will be taken from the southwestern corner
of each of the 25 plots. Photos will be taken from all photo points each monitoring year and provided in
the annual reports. All planted stems will be marked with flagging tape and recorded.
Planting is scheduled for January 2021. The first annual monitoring activities will commence at the end
of the first growing season, at least five months after planting has been completed and no earlier than
the fall season. Species composition, height, and survival rates will be evaluated on an annual basis by
plot. The total number of volunteer woody stems will also be documented and reported. The measure
of vegetative success for the Parcel will be the survival of at least four native hardwood tree species,
where no one species is greater than 50% of the established planted stems, and an established density
of at least 260 planted trees per acre at the end of monitoring year five. Appropriate and desirable
native volunteer species may be included in the Parcel's density to meet the performance standards
with NCDWR approval.
The Sponsor shall submit the annual monitoring report to NCDWR by December 31" of each year for five
consecutive years and will follow the terms and conditions of the Catfish Pond II Mitigation Banking
Instrument (MBI).
5.2 Parcel Maintenance
If the Parcel or a specific component of the Parcel fails to achieve the success criteria outlined in Section
5.1, adaptive measures will be developed and/or appropriate remedial actions will be implemented. Site
maintenance will be performed to correct any identified problems on the Parcel that have a high
likelihood of affecting project success. Such items include, but are not limited to, fire, flooding, drought,
or insects that cause excess tree mortality. Any actions implemented will be designed to achieve the
success criteria and will include a work schedule and updated monitoring criteria. Any parcel
maintenance performed will be included in the monitoring report for that year. A rigorous herbicide
schedule may need to be implemented in the first few years of tree establishment in the restoration
areas to prevent establishment of invasive species that may out -compete the planted native vegetation.
The only herbicides used on the Parcel will be aquatic approved herbicides that will be applied in
accordance with North Carolina Department of Agriculture rules and regulations.
The easement boundary will be checked annually as part of monitoring activities. Easement boundary
conditions as well as any maintenance performed will be reported in the annual monitoring reports to
NCDWR. If mowing is deemed necessary by the Sponsor during the monitoring period, the Sponsor must
wCatfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel Draft - BPDP
HUC 03020201 Page 9 April 2020
receive approval from NCDWR prior to conducting any mowing activities within Zone 1 and Zone 2 of
the Neuse buffers to ensure that no buffer violations have occurred.
5.3 Easement Boundaries and Fencing
Easement boundaries will be identified in the field to ensure clear distinction between the Parcel and
adjacent properties. Boundaries may be identified by fence, marker, post, tree -blazing, or other means as
allowed by site conditions and/or conservation easement. Boundary markers that have been disturbed,
damaged, or destroyed will be repaired and/or replaced on an as needed basis. Contact information for
the conservation easement holder will be included on easement markers.
6.0 Financial Assurance and Long -Term Management
6.1 Financial Assurances
Following approval of the Catfish Pond II Bank Parcel Development Package, the Sponsor shall provide a
Performance Bond from a surety that is rated no less than an "A-" as rated by A.M. Best. The
Performance Bond amount shall be 100% of the estimated cost for implementation of the project as
described in the Bank Parcel Development Package (BPDP, but not less than $150,000.00). In lieu of
posting the performance bond, the Sponsor may elect to construct the project prior to the first credit
release. In that case no performance bond will be necessary.
After completion of the restoration/construction, a separate Performance/Maintenance Bond will be
secured for 100% of the estimated cost to implement the monitoring and maintenance plan but not less
than $100,000.00. The Performance/Maintenance Bond shall apply at the inception of the monitoring
period for a term of one year and be extended annually for a minimum of five years. Upon NCDWR
approval, this may be lowered each year based on the adjusted cost to complete the monitoring.
Performance bonds for monitoring shall be renewed at least annually to cover the next years monitoring
period, with confirmation of renewal provided to NCDWR with each annual monitoring report when
applicable. NCDWR reserves the right to alter the credit release schedule if monitoring reports are
submitted without proof of bond renewals when applicable.
6.2 Long-term Management
The Parcel will remain in private ownership, protected in its entirety by an approved NCDWR long term
stewardship, and will be managed under the terms detailed in an approved NCDWR conservation
easement. The long-term manager will be responsible for periodic inspection of the Parcel to ensure
that the restrictions documented in the recorded easement are upheld in perpetuity.
7.0 Mitigation Potential
Of the 33.00 acres protected under the conservation easement, the mitigation activity for 28.30 acres is
riparian restoration. Of that 28.30 acres of restoration, 8.30 acres is proposed for buffer mitigation
credit and 20 acres is proposed for nutrient offset credit. There is also 2.76 acres of preservation within
the conservation easement proposed for riparian buffer credit. The mitigation credit calculations were
derived based on Wildlands' conceptual design for maximum ecological uplift. The management
objectives, mitigation type, and proposed amount of buffer mitigation are presented in Tables 8 and 9,
below. All of the buffer restoration areas are viable for either riparian buffer credits or nutrient offset
credits and can be converted upon approval by NCDWR if within the first 100 feet from top of bank for
the areas on Catfish Creek, Mountain Tributary, UT1 or the first 50 feet from top of bank for the Ditch.

Re: Site Viability for Buffer Mitigation & Nutrient Offset— Catfish Pond Site
Off US-501 (36.158391.-78-907343)
Neuse 03020201 (Falls Lake WS)
Durham County
Dear Mr. Hutton,
On February 23, 2018, Katie Merritt, with the Division of Water Resources {DWR}, assisted you
and others from Wildlands Engineering, Inc. at the proposed Catfish Pond Mitigation Site (Site)
in Bahama, NC. The Site is located in the Falls Lake WS of the Neuse River Basin within the 8-
digt Hydrologic Unit Code 03020201. The Site is being proposed as part of a full -delivery
stream restoration project for the Division of Mitigation Services (Rl~ P 916-007279). Members
of the Interagency Review Team (IRT) and Division of Mitigation Services were also present
onsite. At your request, on February 23, 2018, Ms. Merritt performed an onsite assessment of
riparian land uses adjacent to streams and ditches onsite, which are shown on the attached map
labeled "Figure 6A Concept Map".
Ms. Merritt's evaluation of the features onsite and their associated mitigation determination I'or the
riparian areas are provided in the table below. This evaluation was spade from Top of Bank (TOB)
out to 200' from each feature for buffer mitigation pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0295 (etiective
November 1, 2015) and for nutrient offset credits pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B ,0240-

The attached map (Figure 6A Concept Map) showing the project site and features was provided by
Wildlands Engineering and was initialed by Ms. Merritt on March 13, 201 S. There were at least 3
crossings that need to he repaired or replaced to allow for aquatic passage and continuous
hydrologic connectively throughout the streams. This letter should be provided in any future
stream, wetland, buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation plans for this Site.
This letter does not constitute an approval of this site to generate mitigation credits. Pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02B .0295, a mitigation proposal and a mitigation plan shall be submitted to DWR for written
approval prior to conducting any mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters for
buffer mitigation credit. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02B .0240, a proposal regarding a proposed nutrient
load -reducing measure for nutrient offset credit shall be submitted to DWR for approval prior to any
mitigation activities in riparian areas and/or surface waters.
All vegetative plantings, performance criteria and other mitigation requirements for riparian
restoration, enhancement and preservation must follow the requirements in 15A NCAC 02B .0295 to
be eligible for buffer and/or nutrient offset mitigation credits. For any areas depicted as not being
viable for nutrient offset credit above, one could propose a different measure, along with supporting
calculations and sufficient detail to support estimates of load reduction, for review by the DWR to
determine viability for nutrient offset in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B .0240. For any areas
generating wetland mitigation credit, no buffer or nutrient offset credit can be generated.
This viability assessment will expire on March 13, 2020 or upon the submittal of an As -Built
Report to the DWR, whichever comes first. Please contact Katie Merritt at (919)-807-6371 if you
have any questions regarding this correspondence.

Subject: List of threatened and endangered species that may occur in your proposed project
location, and/or may be affected by your proposed project
To Whom It May Concern:
The species list generated pursuant to the information you provided identifies threatened,
endangered, proposed and candidate species, as well as proposed and final designated critical
habitat, that may occur within the boundary of your proposed project and/or may be affected by
your proposed project. The species list fulfills the requirements of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service) under section 7(c) of the Endangered Species Act (Act) of 1973, as amended
(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.).
New information based on updated surveys, changes in the abundance and distribution of
species, changed habitat conditions, or other factors could change this list. Please feel free to
contact us if you need more current information or assistance regarding the potential impacts to
federally proposed, listed, and candidate species and federally designated and proposed critical
habitat. Please note that under 50 CFR 402.12(e) of the regulations implementing section 7 of the
Act, the accuracy of this species list should be verified after 90 days. This verification can be
completed formally or informally as desired. The Service recommends that verification be
completed by visiting the ECOS-IPaC website at regular intervals during project planning and
implementation for updates to species lists and information. An updated list may be requested
through the ECDS-IPaC system by completing the same process used to receive the enclosed list.
Section 7 of the Act requires that all federal agencies (or their designated non-federal
representative), in consultation with the Service, insure that any action federally authorized,
funded, or carried out by such agencies is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of any
federally -listed endangered or threatened species. A biological assessment or evaluation may be
prepared to fulfill that requirement and in determining whether additional consultation with the
Service is necessary. In addition to the federally -protected species list, information on the
species' life histories and habitats and information on completing a biological assessment or
02/21/2020 Event Code: 04EN2000-2020-E-01578
evaluation and can be found on our web page at http://www.fws.gov/raleigh. Please check the
web site often for updated information or changes
If your project contains suitable habitat for any of the federally -listed species known to be
present within the county where your project occurs, the proposed action has the potential to
adversely affect those species. As such, we recommend that surveys be conducted to determine
the species' presence or absence within the project area. The use of North Carolina Natural
Heritage program data should not be substituted for actual field surveys.
If you determine that the proposed action may affect (i.e., likely to adversely affect or not likely
to adversely affect) a federally -protected species, you should notify this office with your
determination, the results of your surveys, survey methodologies, and an analysis of the effects
of the action on listed species, including consideration of direct, indirect, and cumulative effects,
before conducting any activities that might affect the species. If you determine that the proposed
action will have no effect (i.e., no beneficial or adverse, direct or indirect effect) on federally
listed species, then you are not required to contact our office for concurrence (unless an
Environmental Impact Statement is prepared). However, you should maintain a complete record
of the assessment, including steps leading to your determination of effect, the qualified personnel
conducting the assessment, habitat conditions, site photographs, and any other related articles.
Please be aware that bald and golden eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle
Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 668 et seq.), and projects affecting these species may require
development of an eagle conservation plan (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/
eagle_guidance.html). Additionally, wind energy projects should follow the wind energy
guidelines (http://www.fws.gov/windenergy/) for minimizing impacts to migratory birds and
bats.
Guidance for minimizing impacts to migratory birds for projects including communications
towers (e.g., cellular, digital television, radio, and emergency broadcast) can be found at: http://
www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/towers.htm; http://
www.towerkill.com; and http://www.fws.gov/migratorybirds/CurrentBirdIssues/Hazards/towers/
comtow.html.
Not all Threatened and Endangered Species that occur in North Carolina are subject to section 7
consultation with the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service. Atlantic and shortnose sturgeon, sea
turtles,when in the water, and certain marine mammals are under purview of the National Marine
Fisheries Service. If your project occurs in marine, estuarine, or coastal river systems you should
also contact the National Marine Fisheries Service, http://www.nmfs.noaa.gov/
We appreciate your concern for threatened and endangered species. The Service encourages
Federal agencies to include conservation of threatened and endangered species into their project
planning to further the purposes of the Act. Please include the Consultation Tracking Number in
the header of this letter with any request for consultation or correspondence about your project
that you submit to our office. If you have any questions or comments, please contact John Ellis

Project Name: Catfish Pond 11 Mitigation Sank Parcel
Project Type: LAND - RESTORATION / ENHANCEMENT
Project Description: Catfish Pond lI Mitigation Bank Parcel (Phase II) is a buffer restoration
project located approximately twelve miles north of the City of Durham
and approximately three miles east of the Orange County/Durham County
border. The project is comprised of approximately 31.5 acres along
Catfish Creek and three additional unnamed tributaries. The Parcel has
historically been disturbed due to livestock use. This project will establish
adequate buffers along these streams to improve water quality and
wildlife habitat, both aquatic and terrestrial. The project easement is
immediately adjacent to Catfish Pond Mitigation Site (Phase I of the
project), which is currently under construction. The Parcel expands the
riparian buffer area from 50 feet in Phase I to 100-200 feet on project
streams and ephemeral channels.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Online Project Review Certification Letter - Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel
Good morning,
I have attached a copy of the Catfish Pond II Mitigation Bank Parcel online project review certification letter. The US Fish
and Wildlife Service has previously responded to Wildlands request for comment on NCDMS Catfish Pond Mitigation Site
(Phase I of the project), which is currently under construction, in a letter dated March 2, 2018. Catfish Pond II Mitigation
Bank Parcel (Phase 11) is a buffer restoration project adjacent to the current Phase I easement. The Parcel expands the
riparian buffer area from 50 feet in Phase I to 100-200 feet on project streams, ephemeral channels, and a ditch. The
three newly proposed endangered or threatened species in this area are included in the Species Conclusion Table.
I have also attached a map (Figure 1) to help clarify but please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you very much,
Tasha King

Subject: Catfish Pond Il Mitigation Bank Parcel
Durham County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Gledhill -Earley,
Catfish Pond I Mitigation Bank Parcel (Phase Il) is a buffer restoration project located approximately twelve miles
north of the City of Durham and approximately three miles east of the Orange County/Durham County border. The
project is comprised of approximately 31.6 acres along Catfish Creek and three additional unnamed tributaries.
The project easement is immediately adjacent to the NCDMS Catfish Pond Stream Mitigation Site (Phase I of the
project), which is currently under construction. The Parcel expands the riparian buffer area on the project streams
from 50 feet in Phase I to 100-200 feet on project streams, ephemeral channels, and a ditch (Figure 1).
The State Historic Preservation Office has previously responded to our request for comment on Phase I (tracking
number ER 18-0328) in a letter dated March 5, 2018, stating they "are aware of no historic resources which would
be affected". WIIdlands Engineering, Inc. would like to request a review and comment on the additional area
covered by Phase II of the project JFigure 1j.
The project area has been historically disturbed due to livestock use. No surveyed sites listed on the North Carolina
State Historic Preservation office website are located within the project area, there are no existing structures in
the easement area, and no archaeological artifacts have been observed. A USGS Topographic Map and a Site Map
showing the approximate project area are enclosed. The topographic figure was prepared from the Rougemont
7.5-Minute USGS Topographic quadrangle, and the site is located at latitude 36.163542 longitude-78.911456. We
ask that you review the additional Phase II project area based on the attached information to determine the
presence of any historic properties.
We thank you in advance for your timely response and cooperation. Please feel free to contact us with any
questions that you may have concerning the extent of site disturbance associated with this project.
Sincerely,
J
